C'ongrrMlonnl Nomination. Our readers will see by tho proceedings of the Convention which met in Newark on Tuesday, that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Hon. Joseph Riuuway, has, with unusual unanimity, been put in nomination as the Whig candidate for Representative from this district in the next Congress. To us, this nomination is indeed most gratifying; and wo are confident it will receive a must hearty response from every Whig in this county, who has been for six years represented by this gentleman : and it is the more gratifying, because twelve only of tho twenty-one delegates from Mis county were present and voted. Under the circumstances, Mr. Ridgw.at's nomination is a proud compliment to him and most grateful to his friends, and a sure guaranty that the Whig strength in the district will be concentrated upon him. Mr. Ridgwoy, although emphatically a true Whig, is a gentluman possessing the respect and esteem of j political opponents no less than the confidence of political friends. His urbanity, and his moderation and entire freedom from that spirit of virulent and rancorous partisanship so prevalent at this day, render him the candidate, of tlie People, and we doubt not will secure to him many votes among the moderate of all parties. And now, have we no reasonable hope that wo can elect him? We answer, confidently, Yes. Taking the vote for Governor in 1840, the fullest vote ever polled in tho district, the Whigs had a majority of ItW! True, by the vote of last fall, thero was a majority against us of 1,411); but thero was a greatly diminished vote. Tho vote of the two parties in 1840 and 1812, compare as follows: In 18 10, the whole vote was 10,080 Whig majority, 182; in 1812, tho whole vote of tho two parties was but 1.VJ75, which shows a fulling olf of 1,305 votes. Now it is fair to presume, that, so far from the number of voters having been reduced, there has been an actual increase: but, allowing tho same vote, let us take the diminution in tho voto of '42 from the Loco majority, and wo have but 114 against us and thero are then left 40i votes, cast for Judge King, from which to make this up; and it would bo un reasoniblo to suppose that amy of these 400 will cast their votes for a man of the parly upon tho success of which depends the hopes of an admission of Texas into the Union, a repeal of tho tar ill", and, ultimately, tho adoption of a system of direct taxation to defray tho expenses of our Federal Government All we want, then, to secure to us a Representative honest, cupnble, and faithful to the Constitution, is, by a vigorous and united effort to bring out our whote strength at the polls. Lot us do this. Our individ ual, our State, uur country's interests, demand it of IHr. Culbouu. The great Nullifer is certainly gaining upon his great rival, the Magician, in tho north. Mr. Van liuren ruasoncd well in urging a Convention and nomination this fill he may be completely "headed " by May next. In this Slate Mr. Calhoun's prospects are beginning to brighten his prospects fur a nomination, wo mean. The Scioto Valley Post has run up a flag, Uoii which is inscribed the name of Calhoun. And a public meeting was held at Cincinnati, last week, to invite him to visit Ohio. Speaking of this meeting, tlie Gazette says that tho resolutions passed are declaratory of their views, and complimentary to the South Carolina statesman; and that they sum up their political creed asfullows: That they are opposed, 1. To any connection of the IJ.mks and Government.!2. To any distribution of the land fund. !l. To any further limitation of the veto power. 4. And, above all, to any protective tarill. Another llimlfl Tho Now Orlenns papors furnish accounts of an other battle, whit'.h took place on tho Kith ulL off Campeuchy, between the Texan vessels Austin and Wharton and the Mexican steamers Guadaloupo and Montezuma. The action continued about three hours, when both sides hauled off. Coin. Mooro, on his return to Catnpeachy, aided by tho Yucatan gunboats, succeeded in destroying the Mexican batteries, which had been throwing immense numbers of bomb shells into tho city of Cum pouchy. Great damage was done to the Mexican steamers. Tho Guadaloupo had 42 men killed and as many wounded. The loss on howl the Montezuma was also very great On board Com. Moore's vessel two men woru killed and twenty-live wounded. During the action one of tho seamen on board tho Texan brig Wharton was blown to atoms by the gun at which ho was engaged, lie was ramming home the cartridge, and tho captain of the gun, not seeing him at the muzzlo, fired and blew tho man to pieces. A warm engagement took place on shore on the 17th tilt between the CiunjMwIieanus and Centralists. Tho Iims on the Central sido was very great; the Yucatecos had only ten killed. A public meeting was held at Galveston on the 2l)ih tilt, at which the lion. John M. Allen, Mayor of the citv, presided ; and u series of resolutions wore adopted, applauding in the highest terms the late chivnlrotis conduct and self-devotion of Commodore .Mooro, his otHcers and men, off Yucatan.

The New Orleans Picayune of May 27, ono of the editors having just arrived in Gti hours from Havana, states that an extensive insurrection had, according to information received by express the day before he sailed, broken out among the blacks on the south side of the island, in tho immediate vicinity of St. Jago de Cuba. The Picayune says: "So important was tlie intelligence, from its astounding report of the toss of life and property, as well as tho extent of tho plot of the insurgents, that tho Admiral of the Port, Gen. Ulloa, immediately de spatched a man of war steamer to the scene of riot, and orders were also given for a frigate, two brigBof war, and anuther steamer to follow with troops, without delay. C7 Strong fears have been for some timo past entertained that the United States schooner Grampus has been lost, and that all on board have found a watery grave. Tho Grampus sailed from Charles ton early in March, with orders from Com.

Tho committee reported the names ot twelve gentlemen from the count) uf Franklin, and sixteen from the county of Knox, as delegates to said Convention, and that, in consequence of the failure of the called meeting ot Licking county ol Saturday liuM, no regularly appointed delegates were returned from said county. Whereupon C. K.

GKi:oonr,rV-v, Steamboat Exei.osioiss, A writer in tho Journal of Commerce llms describes an invention to pro-vent boilers from bursting, patented by a Mr. Harn-um, and in successful operation on board tho steamboat Croton: This apparatus consists uf a float upon the surface of tho wuter iu tho boiler, which of course sinks a tho quantity of wnter in the boiler it diminished, and lowers ono end of a lever, to which is attached a rod with a button on tho end, which opens an orilico by which tho steam escapes from the boiler, and is conducted to a ae para to engine, which pumps water into the boiler until the float has reached its proer elevation, when tho steam is shut olf. Now it will be perceived that this plan cannot fail to keep the boiler full of water if it operates properly. Hut should tho water fail to bo putucd in, the float sinks still lower, until another stopper is removed, and steam it conveyed directly into the engine room, telling tho engineer, in language not to bo mis understood, to pump water into the boiler. Every contingency appears to be provided for. This process is performed as well when the the vessel is at rest at in motion, and tho foam of the wator in tho boiler cannot prevent tho salutary action. Conn on tiir Warasii.

A late statute requires President Judges to es tablish rules for the regulation nod government of tho jails of the several counties of tins State. I his law was dictated by humanity and sound public policy. It is hoped that it will draw public attention to an inquiry how fur tax payers can be relieved from the enormous expense of criminal prosecutions. Our present system works thus : a loafer steals a trifle-then tlie justice of the peace, a constable, witnesses, sheriff, jailor, prosecuting attorney, grand jury, the president judge and his thrco associates, and a petit juiy, all engage in bringing the loafer to justice, and are all paid by whom ? not tho loaler, for ho has nothing but by the industrious and honest tax pay ersand what becomes of the loafer? Why ho is fed on bread and water a few days, and then again goes at largo. Here is too much machinery and expense not less than thirty officers of the county employed! count them besides witnesses! to bring the loafer to tho dungeon, without this improvement of the system Tho loafer should pay the costs of the prosecution by breaking stone in tho jail yard his punishment should bo breaking stone, or doing other work. We givo below the Rules established for tho jail of Franklin county : RULES For the regulation and government of the Jail of Franklin county. 1.

COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, PKIIE. The Pittsburgh Spirit of the Age says the Monte-zumu left last Thursday with seven tons of Specie, for Maysvillo, It hud been brought from tho East Tho steamboat Manhattan, from St. Louis, passed up yesterday with some half dozen of the Santa Fa '1 ruders on board. They had with them (?!i50l000 in Specie, bound for the East. Cincin nati Gaztttc. Tins is just what was predicted ten years ngo if tho Loco Foco experiments tiicn talked of were carried into effect Were tlie means of making tho ox-changes of the country now what they were then, wo should not hear of such mosses of specie traveling about and passing each other by the way. Here are seven tons of specie taken from the eastern cities to Maysville, Kentucky, on the Ohio river, while $350,- 000 in specie aro going from St Iouis to tho same cities at tho same timo, right by Maysville, and the two masses shako hands perhaps on the river, ono bound down and tho other up, and within three months they may both bo traveling back again to the vaults from which they havo lately been removed. Here is about an oven chance, judging by the daily list of accidents on tho rivers, that one or the other of these parcels will gut snagged or burnt, and sunk to the bottom, making a total Tots to the wealth of the country of so much property. But waiving this hazard, tho insurance, expense of transportation, lost of interest, an ) absolute loss of benefit to the country whilo being thus toted about, must be five or ten times greater than tho rate of exchange iu the gcod old times before we were made wise by "experiments." Then bills of exchange could be got at 4 or possibly 1 percent, between any two points in tho country, without loss by destruction ol the property or robbery, and without withdrawing it from use while nominally in transitu for tlie thing itself was never carried about but a little slip of paper addressed by one man to another, telling him to pay the bearer so many dollars. And this little slip of paper, before it reached its point of destination would pass perhaps through forty Iiuuds, paying in its travels forty times its face, and yet moving forward all the while with rail road speed. Thus a man in New Orleans has money in Now York, where ho has no use for it but ho does want it in Victaburgh to buy cotton with. As things now are, ho must wait till ho can get his specie from New York at considerable expense, nnd loss of interest, and (hen ship it up to Vickshurgh, and it would in this way perforin just ono operation that of buying tho cotton. As things were, the owner of the specie would draw his billon New York und semi that to his correspondent in V., who would probably owe money at St. Louis, when he would send it to some hotly who might owe money at Cincinnati, whither it would at once go, to somebody who pernafts would want to semi to riiiHiitirgti, irom whence it would go to I'hiludelphia, and finally to New York, when tho specie would bo paid, if demanded and all this at the expense of a few shillings postage, and ihe money at the aamo timo bo perfectly secure in New York, If tho bill bo lost, burnt or stolen, it could not be presented, or notice not to pay it might have been given. Hut wo arc grown wiser than we were, and if our children progress as we havo done for ten years, the next generation will bo a most rcmarkablo ago, at least in all matters of financial wisdom. Should they f dlnw our lead, they will by tint day repudiate gold ond silver ami look upon inm and copper as tho only constitutional currency, as did that most enliirht- em d nation, the Spartan, " ho did not confide, steal ing a an oiu-nce, in any shiie, but only the doing it so unskilfully as to bo detected.

JUNE 14, 1843. From the Zaneiville Gazette. PIgcaa Encampment in Licking Couuir. The following letter from Mr. J. B. Dorset, ff'iv ing an account of tlie Pigeon encampment," iu tho lieecn woods ot jjicKing county, will he read with interest especially by those who have visited, or in tend visiting the place. A few of tho citizens of Aaiiesvillo who recently returned trom tho "nests," laden with lots of "squabs," corroborate the state-men La uf Mr. Durscy fully. Kikkkrsvili.e, Licking CO., O., May2(i,JBda Mr. U. P. Rennet: Dear Sir; The old adage is, that " Birds of a leather flock together," which is peculiarly true of tho wild pigeon ; and believing that a brief account of these birds, as thev aro at present colonized in this neighborhood, would bo of mieresi w you, i navo taken my pen in hand tor that purpose. Those who have never had an opportunity of witnessing their collecting together to build their nests, na well as their roosts in the fall, will be apt to form but an inadequate idea of the number. Their nest ing or hatchihg pluce, about three miles north mat of iwrKcrsvMic, on the iNutioual road, is, at this tune, one of considerable interest, as you may infer from the numbers of persons visiting. Thousands, yea, tens of thousands of these birds, commenced about the middle of April to build their nests iu a den?e, thick beech forest, of about two miles square, bounded on the north by a road, the other sides by farms. They began on tho north side, at the rood, and proceeded south until they had filled tho entire woods with their nests; every tree, and every limb, that would stipiwrt a nest, being occupied ; and some trees have a hundred or more nests upon them, Tho nests are very rude, composed of only a few dry sticks, and sumo so open that you can see the egg through the bottom. They lay but one egg in a nest, and the male and femalo sot alternately, while tho other is gone for food. As soon as day opens in tho morning, vast multitudes leave tho woods in all directions in a short timo some will return, while others are just starting, so that they are passing to and fro from morning till evening; when ull collect on the nesting ground, and a continued noise is kept up the whole night The squabs, or young ones, uro now large enough to leave the nests, and many have left voluntarily, but thousands have been taken within the last week. They are caught by persons climbing the trees, or cutting thoin down. Tlieyare nearly us large as Ihe old ones and very fat, and entirely palatable. The squabs grow to fast and feather so rapidiy, that when they appear to be largo enough to kill for eating, they will Ily away in li4 hours, and cannot bo caught But as they commenced laying und hatching as fust ns they built their nests, (beginning on the north sido of tho encampment) there is about eight or ten days difference in the age of the squabs. This encampment has been a pluce of much resort within the last five or six weeks, being visited by hundreds through curiosity, and by others for the purpose of shooting or killing iho pigeons, A large number of tho old ones have been killed, and thousands upon thousands uf the squabs have been carried awuy. There was a large encampment on tho same ground twenty-three years ngo this spring. 1 wus not then a resident of "these parts," but learn on undoubted authority that they then occupied just three and a nan miles square, of wim whs an unbroken lorest for milef. Lsq. Hucklaud informs me that their encampment was so neor an exact square, that in one case where a large road ran a little angling across ; their lines, they built a three cornered pieco across the road, so as to fill out their square ; and what appears still more extraordinary is, that their lines were remarkably straight ami with the cardinal points, their nests being built thick together up to the lines, thus showing them possessed of more instinct limn wo can well imagine. You perceive their present encampment is not so largo as the former one on tho same ground. I have been informed lhat they have another at this timo some miles west of Alt. Vernon ; and perhaps they were under the necessity of dividing for wmit of sufficient room here, as they havo occupied Ihe entiro unbroken block of wood they aro now in. The other time they were here, the old ones all left in the space of two Jays, leaving the young to take can' of themselves ; and in a few weelts afterwards they left also. These iiumcn quantities of pigeons are not very annoying to the farmer, as they subsist chiefly on the i remainder of last year's beech mast, in tlie gathering of which they exhibit much skill, and tho distance they go and return to their nests wo have no idea of. Their pnnul roost in this vicinity of full when there is a heavy beech mast is a magnificent sccuo. Within the last ten years they havo made a large swamp, southeast of this place, their roost for two falls. The swamp spreads over several hundred acres, and is a dense thicket of wator or btuck willow uiifl swamp rose bushes, tho willow growing 11 or 12 feet high, and tho rose 5 or (i. Between sun down and datk, the pigeons begin to come in, iu such countless numbers, that no person but a beholder could believe that there were as many in the whole universe. They continue coming in until sometime after dark, and frequently in such vast quantities as to look like a dense, dark cloud. They make but little noise while Hying, but the moment they settle, a tremendous noiso is made, that is frequently heard of a still evening for three miles, havinzthc annonrance of an extensive water full. Wherever the tirst com mence settling down, all that follow will pitch to the same place, as though they were trying how small a spot they could all collect upon, lighting on each other and forming pyrnmids, and often breaking or nemiing tuc Dtisnes tn the ground. As the bushes break, they rise by thousands, nnd settle down oth ers, which will create the same disorder arain.

Uul ho added that ho assured Mrs. Jackson, when ho had lelt the political scene, nnd bis motives no longer liable to misconstruction, ho would comply with her inclinations and his own, and join the church. In the mean time ho would servo his (iud without associating himself with any religious society. At the close of tho sermon, tho preacher gave notico that thero would be, at .'1 o'clock, n funeral sermon over a young lady of '-jO, whoso corpso would bo brought to tho church at that hour.

' Tho Bey. Charles Elliott, editor of tlie Weslern Christian Advocate, recently visited Mr. Clay at hia residence, and thus notices him in an account of hia trip to Kentucky : "A person who sees so many newspapers aa an editor's exchange list furnishes, could scarcely visit Lexington without making some inquiry concerning Ashland and its proprietor. It happened that our well tried friend, brother lioscom, was the long and intimate friend of Mr. Clay. Their acquaintance was formed when tho former traveled Danville circuit in 181(1, who, by his powerful eloquence, cogent reasoning, and overwhelming scriptural authorities, gave a death blow to tho rifo Arianisin of tlmt country which threatened to overrun Kentucky. Our kind host conveyed us to Ashland ; but tlie propria tor was not at home. On hearing, however, of our visit, we received a most cordial invitation to dine at Ashland, of winch we availed ourselves, and spent three full hours in very pleasant chat with our kind entertainer, and three more agreeable hours we never snont in all our life. Mr. Clav is sixtv.five voaiw of age, but might pass for fifty, and will, in all probability, he well capable of public business till four-scoro pass ovor his head, if God spare him that long. ins manners are as piniu anil republican as they aro gentlemanly and unaffected. The moral principle, producing honesty and conscientious fidelity to his trust, seemed to us to have taken deep possession of his mind, and wo beliovo governs his heart. He is now closely engaged in his duties as a lawyer, and does not forget his form, which is in admirable order. His houso is plain indeed, and his improvements around it, consisting of grass lawns, and rows of shado trees p anted by hia own hands, aro in good taste, and in complcto keeping with hia republican principles and manner of life. And then, Mrs. Cloy is more than a pattern sho is an exact modol for all tho ladies in tho land. She minutely superintends ull her household affairs. Her little green house, and collection of flowers and shrubs, ore moat tasty nnd well selected. Hut her butler yes, her butler, (for wo eot some of it) is superior. From her dairy, conducted under her eyo, sho supplies tho principal hotels of Lexington; and it is no small glory to hor, that her son Thomas showed, the other day, the suit which his mother purchased for him with tho avoils of her butter. Whether hor first nome be Lucrctia, or not, we ennnot say ; but then we are sure she deserves it. The topics of conversation were, moral, religious, and miscellaneous subjects, and wo are glad to learn to our satisfaction, that Mr. Cloy was a firm believer in the Christian religion that he read his Bible, and attended, with his excellent lady and family, tho I'rotcstant Episcopal church in Lexington, and frequently hears ministers of other churches." A Few Hints to keep awv IiARn Times Rise early in tho morninrand bo diliircnt durimrthe dy in attending to your business, and not worry yourselves about your neighbor's concerns. Instead ot lollowmg the fashions of Kurnpc, cul tivate a spirit of independence and decide for yourselves how your cents and boots shall bo made. Keep out of the streets, unless business calls you to transact that which you cannot do in your stores. shops or dwellings. Dy all means keep from drinking and gambling houses. When you buy an nrticle of clothing, study com mendable economy, at tho same time get a good article and when made tako caro of it, and wear it out regardless of fashion. Fashion is a great tyrant, and people aro great tools lo oe siavca to it. ntay at home nights, improve yourselves by read ing or instructive conversation, and retire to your beds enrly. lie Kind to relations, obliging to friends, and charitable to all. A La bue Throat. The Morninir Star, publish. ed at Cincinnati, relates the following anecdote of a ycung gentleman of llio South who had expended a largo fortuno money, lands, and negroes every thing in the courso of intemperance and profligacy. He had just paid a last year's grog bill of $800; as he was walking in the streets very leisurely, and seeing a physician on the opposito side, he called out to him, saying he wanted nun to come over. " Doctor," aaid he, I wish you 'd just take a look down my throat." " I don't discover anything, sir," said the doctor after Innltinff very rarcfully, You don't!" said ho, "why that's strange; will you be kind enough, sir, to give me another look p" lleally, sir, snid the doctor, allor a second look, " I don't see anything." "Not? why doctor, there is a farm, ten thousand dollars, and twonly negroes gono down there!" Peter Lorili.abd. The Albany Daily Advertiser says this great tobacconist, whose death at tho advanced age of 80 years was mentioned a day or two since, left an estate, consisting in great proportion of real properly, estimated at about four millions of dollars, tlie foundation of which was laid in the business of preparing tobacco for chewing, snullinir and smoking. J lo and two brothers, Ueorge and Abraham, were, if wo mistake not, Herman redemptionera, and of course destitute of property, when they arrived in this country; bin by habns of industry and frugality, nnd slrict integrity, liiey all amassed groat estates. uitjiUO jourmu.

C'ongrrMlonnl Nomination. Our readers will see by tho proceedings of the Convention which met in Newark on Tuesday, that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Hon. Joseph Riuuway, has, with unusual unanimity, been put in nomination as the Whig candidate for Representative from this district in the next Congress. To us, this nomination is indeed most gratifying; and wo are confident it will receive a must hearty response from every Whig in this county, who has been for six years represented by this gentleman : and it is the more gratifying, because twelve only of tho twenty-one delegates from Mis county were present and voted. Under the circumstances, Mr. Ridgw.at's nomination is a proud compliment to him and most grateful to his friends, and a sure guaranty that the Whig strength in the district will be concentrated upon him. Mr. Ridgwoy, although emphatically a true Whig, is a gentluman possessing the respect and esteem of j political opponents no less than the confidence of political friends. His urbanity, and his moderation and entire freedom from that spirit of virulent and rancorous partisanship so prevalent at this day, render him the candidate, of tlie People, and we doubt not will secure to him many votes among the moderate of all parties. And now, have we no reasonable hope that wo can elect him? We answer, confidently, Yes. Taking the vote for Governor in 1840, the fullest vote ever polled in tho district, the Whigs had a majority of ItW! True, by the vote of last fall, thero was a majority against us of 1,411); but thero was a greatly diminished vote. Tho vote of the two parties in 1840 and 1812, compare as follows: In 18 10, the whole vote was 10,080 Whig majority, 182; in 1812, tho whole vote of tho two parties was but 1.VJ75, which shows a fulling olf of 1,305 votes. Now it is fair to presume, that, so far from the number of voters having been reduced, there has been an actual increase: but, allowing tho same vote, let us take the diminution in tho voto of '42 from the Loco majority, and wo have but 114 against us and thero are then left 40i votes, cast for Judge King, from which to make this up; and it would bo un reasoniblo to suppose that amy of these 400 will cast their votes for a man of the parly upon tho success of which depends the hopes of an admission of Texas into the Union, a repeal of tho tar ill", and, ultimately, tho adoption of a system of direct taxation to defray tho expenses of our Federal Government All we want, then, to secure to us a Representative honest, cupnble, and faithful to the Constitution, is, by a vigorous and united effort to bring out our whote strength at the polls. Lot us do this. Our individ ual, our State, uur country's interests, demand it of IHr. Culbouu. The great Nullifer is certainly gaining upon his great rival, the Magician, in tho north. Mr. Van liuren ruasoncd well in urging a Convention and nomination this fill he may be completely "headed " by May next. In this Slate Mr. Calhoun's prospects are beginning to brighten his prospects fur a nomination, wo mean. The Scioto Valley Post has run up a flag, Uoii which is inscribed the name of Calhoun. And a public meeting was held at Cincinnati, last week, to invite him to visit Ohio. Speaking of this meeting, tlie Gazette says that tho resolutions passed are declaratory of their views, and complimentary to the South Carolina statesman; and that they sum up their political creed asfullows: That they are opposed, 1. To any connection of the IJ.mks and Government.!2. To any distribution of the land fund. !l. To any further limitation of the veto power. 4. And, above all, to any protective tarill. Another llimlfl Tho Now Orlenns papors furnish accounts of an other battle, whit'.h took place on tho Kith ulL off Campeuchy, between the Texan vessels Austin and Wharton and the Mexican steamers Guadaloupo and Montezuma. The action continued about three hours, when both sides hauled off. Coin. Mooro, on his return to Catnpeachy, aided by tho Yucatan gunboats, succeeded in destroying the Mexican batteries, which had been throwing immense numbers of bomb shells into tho city of Cum pouchy. Great damage was done to the Mexican steamers. Tho Guadaloupo had 42 men killed and as many wounded. The loss on howl the Montezuma was also very great On board Com. Moore's vessel two men woru killed and twenty-live wounded. During the action one of tho seamen on board tho Texan brig Wharton was blown to atoms by the gun at which ho was engaged, lie was ramming home the cartridge, and tho captain of the gun, not seeing him at the muzzlo, fired and blew tho man to pieces. A warm engagement took place on shore on the 17th tilt between the CiunjMwIieanus and Centralists. Tho Iims on the Central sido was very great; the Yucatecos had only ten killed. A public meeting was held at Galveston on the 2l)ih tilt, at which the lion. John M. Allen, Mayor of the citv, presided ; and u series of resolutions wore adopted, applauding in the highest terms the late chivnlrotis conduct and self-devotion of Commodore .Mooro, his otHcers and men, off Yucatan.

The Picayune says: "So important was tlie intelligence, from its astounding report of the toss of life and property, as well as tho extent of tho plot of the insurgents, that tho Admiral of the Port, Gen. Ulloa, immediately de spatched a man of war steamer to the scene of riot, and orders were also given for a frigate, two brigBof war, and anuther steamer to follow with troops, without delay.

Tho committee reported the names ot twelve gentlemen from the count) uf Franklin, and sixteen from the county of Knox, as delegates to said Convention, and that, in consequence of the failure of the called meeting ot Licking county ol Saturday liuM, no regularly appointed delegates were returned from said county. Whereupon C. K.

GKi:oonr,rV-v, Steamboat Exei.osioiss, A writer in tho Journal of Commerce llms describes an invention to pro-vent boilers from bursting, patented by a Mr. Harn-um, and in successful operation on board tho steamboat Croton: This apparatus consists uf a float upon the surface of tho wuter iu tho boiler, which of course sinks a tho quantity of wnter in the boiler it diminished, and lowers ono end of a lever, to which is attached a rod with a button on tho end, which opens an orilico by which tho steam escapes from the boiler, and is conducted to a ae para to engine, which pumps water into the boiler until the float has reached its proer elevation, when tho steam is shut olf. Now it will be perceived that this plan cannot fail to keep the boiler full of water if it operates properly. Hut should tho water fail to bo putucd in, the float sinks still lower, until another stopper is removed, and steam it conveyed directly into the engine room, telling tho engineer, in language not to bo mis understood, to pump water into the boiler. Every contingency appears to be provided for. This process is performed as well when the the vessel is at rest at in motion, and tho foam of the wator in tho boiler cannot prevent tho salutary action. Conn on tiir Warasii.

A late statute requires President Judges to es tablish rules for the regulation nod government of tho jails of the several counties of tins State. I his law was dictated by humanity and sound public policy. It is hoped that it will draw public attention to an inquiry how fur tax payers can be relieved from the enormous expense of criminal prosecutions. Our present system works thus : a loafer steals a trifle-then tlie justice of the peace, a constable, witnesses, sheriff, jailor, prosecuting attorney, grand jury, the president judge and his thrco associates, and a petit juiy, all engage in bringing the loafer to justice, and are all paid by whom ? not tho loaler, for ho has nothing but by the industrious and honest tax pay ersand what becomes of the loafer? Why ho is fed on bread and water a few days, and then again goes at largo. Here is too much machinery and expense not less than thirty officers of the county employed! count them besides witnesses! to bring the loafer to tho dungeon, without this improvement of the system Tho loafer should pay the costs of the prosecution by breaking stone in tho jail yard his punishment should bo breaking stone, or doing other work.

The Pittsburgh Spirit of the Age says the Monte-zumu left last Thursday with seven tons of Specie, for Maysvillo, It hud been brought from tho East Tho steamboat Manhattan, from St. Louis, passed up yesterday with some half dozen of the Santa Fa '1 ruders on board. They had with them (?!i50l000 in Specie, bound for the East. Cincin nati Gaztttc. Tins is just what was predicted ten years ngo if tho Loco Foco experiments tiicn talked of were carried into effect Were tlie means of making tho ox-changes of the country now what they were then, wo should not hear of such mosses of specie traveling about and passing each other by the way. Here are seven tons of specie taken from the eastern cities to Maysville, Kentucky, on the Ohio river, while $350,- 000 in specie aro going from St Iouis to tho same cities at tho same timo, right by Maysville, and the two masses shako hands perhaps on the river, ono bound down and tho other up, and within three months they may both bo traveling back again to the vaults from which they havo lately been removed. Here is about an oven chance, judging by the daily list of accidents on tho rivers, that one or the other of these parcels will gut snagged or burnt, and sunk to the bottom, making a total Tots to the wealth of the country of so much property. But waiving this hazard, tho insurance, expense of transportation, lost of interest, an ) absolute loss of benefit to the country whilo being thus toted about, must be five or ten times greater than tho rate of exchange iu the gcod old times before we were made wise by "experiments." Then bills of exchange could be got at 4 or possibly 1 percent, between any two points in tho country, without loss by destruction ol the property or robbery, and without withdrawing it from use while nominally in transitu for tlie thing itself was never carried about but a little slip of paper addressed by one man to another, telling him to pay the bearer so many dollars. And this little slip of paper, before it reached its point of destination would pass perhaps through forty Iiuuds, paying in its travels forty times its face, and yet moving forward all the while with rail road speed. Thus a man in New Orleans has money in Now York, where ho has no use for it but ho does want it in Victaburgh to buy cotton with. As things now are, ho must wait till ho can get his specie from New York at considerable expense, nnd loss of interest, and (hen ship it up to Vickshurgh, and it would in this way perforin just ono operation that of buying tho cotton. As things were, the owner of the specie would draw his billon New York und semi that to his correspondent in V., who would probably owe money at St. Louis, when he would send it to some hotly who might owe money at Cincinnati, whither it would at once go, to somebody who pernafts would want to semi to riiiHiitirgti, irom whence it would go to I'hiludelphia, and finally to New York, when tho specie would bo paid, if demanded and all this at the expense of a few shillings postage, and ihe money at the aamo timo bo perfectly secure in New York, If tho bill bo lost, burnt or stolen, it could not be presented, or notice not to pay it might have been given. Hut wo arc grown wiser than we were, and if our children progress as we havo done for ten years, the next generation will bo a most rcmarkablo ago, at least in all matters of financial wisdom. Should they f dlnw our lead, they will by tint day repudiate gold ond silver ami look upon inm and copper as tho only constitutional currency, as did that most enliirht- em d nation, the Spartan, " ho did not confide, steal ing a an oiu-nce, in any shiie, but only the doing it so unskilfully as to bo detected.

JUNE 14, 1843. From the Zaneiville Gazette. PIgcaa Encampment in Licking Couuir. The following letter from Mr. J. B. Dorset, ff'iv ing an account of tlie Pigeon encampment," iu tho lieecn woods ot jjicKing county, will he read with interest especially by those who have visited, or in tend visiting the place. A few of tho citizens of Aaiiesvillo who recently returned trom tho "nests," laden with lots of "squabs," corroborate the state-men La uf Mr. Durscy fully. Kikkkrsvili.e, Licking CO., O., May2(i,JBda Mr. U. P. Rennet: Dear Sir; The old adage is, that " Birds of a leather flock together," which is peculiarly true of tho wild pigeon ; and believing that a brief account of these birds, as thev aro at present colonized in this neighborhood, would bo of mieresi w you, i navo taken my pen in hand tor that purpose. Those who have never had an opportunity of witnessing their collecting together to build their nests, na well as their roosts in the fall, will be apt to form but an inadequate idea of the number. Their nest ing or hatchihg pluce, about three miles north mat of iwrKcrsvMic, on the iNutioual road, is, at this tune, one of considerable interest, as you may infer from the numbers of persons visiting. Thousands, yea, tens of thousands of these birds, commenced about the middle of April to build their nests iu a den?e, thick beech forest, of about two miles square, bounded on the north by a road, the other sides by farms. They began on tho north side, at the rood, and proceeded south until they had filled tho entire woods with their nests; every tree, and every limb, that would stipiwrt a nest, being occupied ; and some trees have a hundred or more nests upon them, Tho nests are very rude, composed of only a few dry sticks, and sumo so open that you can see the egg through the bottom. They lay but one egg in a nest, and the male and femalo sot alternately, while tho other is gone for food. As soon as day opens in tho morning, vast multitudes leave tho woods in all directions in a short timo some will return, while others are just starting, so that they are passing to and fro from morning till evening; when ull collect on the nesting ground, and a continued noise is kept up the whole night The squabs, or young ones, uro now large enough to leave the nests, and many have left voluntarily, but thousands have been taken within the last week. They are caught by persons climbing the trees, or cutting thoin down. Tlieyare nearly us large as Ihe old ones and very fat, and entirely palatable. The squabs grow to fast and feather so rapidiy, that when they appear to be largo enough to kill for eating, they will Ily away in li4 hours, and cannot bo caught But as they commenced laying und hatching as fust ns they built their nests, (beginning on the north sido of tho encampment) there is about eight or ten days difference in the age of the squabs. This encampment has been a pluce of much resort within the last five or six weeks, being visited by hundreds through curiosity, and by others for the purpose of shooting or killing iho pigeons, A large number of tho old ones have been killed, and thousands upon thousands uf the squabs have been carried awuy. There was a large encampment on tho same ground twenty-three years ngo this spring. 1 wus not then a resident of "these parts," but learn on undoubted authority that they then occupied just three and a nan miles square, of wim whs an unbroken lorest for milef. Lsq. Hucklaud informs me that their encampment was so neor an exact square, that in one case where a large road ran a little angling across ; their lines, they built a three cornered pieco across the road, so as to fill out their square ; and what appears still more extraordinary is, that their lines were remarkably straight ami with the cardinal points, their nests being built thick together up to the lines, thus showing them possessed of more instinct limn wo can well imagine. You perceive their present encampment is not so largo as the former one on tho same ground. I have been informed lhat they have another at this timo some miles west of Alt. Vernon ; and perhaps they were under the necessity of dividing for wmit of sufficient room here, as they havo occupied Ihe entiro unbroken block of wood they aro now in. The other time they were here, the old ones all left in the space of two Jays, leaving the young to take can' of themselves ; and in a few weelts afterwards they left also. These iiumcn quantities of pigeons are not very annoying to the farmer, as they subsist chiefly on the i remainder of last year's beech mast, in tlie gathering of which they exhibit much skill, and tho distance they go and return to their nests wo have no idea of. Their pnnul roost in this vicinity of full when there is a heavy beech mast is a magnificent sccuo. Within the last ten years they havo made a large swamp, southeast of this place, their roost for two falls. The swamp spreads over several hundred acres, and is a dense thicket of wator or btuck willow uiifl swamp rose bushes, tho willow growing 11 or 12 feet high, and tho rose 5 or (i. Between sun down and datk, the pigeons begin to come in, iu such countless numbers, that no person but a beholder could believe that there were as many in the whole universe. They continue coming in until sometime after dark, and frequently in such vast quantities as to look like a dense, dark cloud. They make but little noise while Hying, but the moment they settle, a tremendous noiso is made, that is frequently heard of a still evening for three miles, havinzthc annonrance of an extensive water full. Wherever the tirst com mence settling down, all that follow will pitch to the same place, as though they were trying how small a spot they could all collect upon, lighting on each other and forming pyrnmids, and often breaking or nemiing tuc Dtisnes tn the ground. As the bushes break, they rise by thousands, nnd settle down oth ers, which will create the same disorder arain.

Uul ho added that ho assured Mrs. Jackson, when ho had lelt the political scene, nnd bis motives no longer liable to misconstruction, ho would comply with her inclinations and his own, and join the church. In the mean time ho would servo his (iud without associating himself with any religious society. At the close of tho sermon, tho preacher gave notico that thero would be, at .'1 o'clock, n funeral sermon over a young lady of '-jO, whoso corpso would bo brought to tho church at that hour.

' Tho Bey. Charles Elliott, editor of tlie Weslern Christian Advocate, recently visited Mr. Clay at hia residence, and thus notices him in an account of hia trip to Kentucky : "A person who sees so many newspapers aa an editor's exchange list furnishes, could scarcely visit Lexington without making some inquiry concerning Ashland and its proprietor. It happened that our well tried friend, brother lioscom, was the long and intimate friend of Mr. Clay. Their acquaintance was formed when tho former traveled Danville circuit in 181(1, who, by his powerful eloquence, cogent reasoning, and overwhelming scriptural authorities, gave a death blow to tho rifo Arianisin of tlmt country which threatened to overrun Kentucky. Our kind host conveyed us to Ashland ; but tlie propria tor was not at home. On hearing, however, of our visit, we received a most cordial invitation to dine at Ashland, of winch we availed ourselves, and spent three full hours in very pleasant chat with our kind entertainer, and three more agreeable hours we never snont in all our life. Mr. Clav is sixtv.five voaiw of age, but might pass for fifty, and will, in all probability, he well capable of public business till four-scoro pass ovor his head, if God spare him that long. ins manners are as piniu anil republican as they aro gentlemanly and unaffected. The moral principle, producing honesty and conscientious fidelity to his trust, seemed to us to have taken deep possession of his mind, and wo beliovo governs his heart. He is now closely engaged in his duties as a lawyer, and does not forget his form, which is in admirable order. His houso is plain indeed, and his improvements around it, consisting of grass lawns, and rows of shado trees p anted by hia own hands, aro in good taste, and in complcto keeping with hia republican principles and manner of life. And then, Mrs. Cloy is more than a pattern sho is an exact modol for all tho ladies in tho land. She minutely superintends ull her household affairs. Her little green house, and collection of flowers and shrubs, ore moat tasty nnd well selected. Hut her butler yes, her butler, (for wo eot some of it) is superior. From her dairy, conducted under her eyo, sho supplies tho principal hotels of Lexington; and it is no small glory to hor, that her son Thomas showed, the other day, the suit which his mother purchased for him with tho avoils of her butter. Whether hor first nome be Lucrctia, or not, we ennnot say ; but then we are sure she deserves it. The topics of conversation were, moral, religious, and miscellaneous subjects, and wo are glad to learn to our satisfaction, that Mr. Cloy was a firm believer in the Christian religion that he read his Bible, and attended, with his excellent lady and family, tho I'rotcstant Episcopal church in Lexington, and frequently hears ministers of other churches." A Few Hints to keep awv IiARn Times Rise early in tho morninrand bo diliircnt durimrthe dy in attending to your business, and not worry yourselves about your neighbor's concerns. Instead ot lollowmg the fashions of Kurnpc, cul tivate a spirit of independence and decide for yourselves how your cents and boots shall bo made. Keep out of the streets, unless business calls you to transact that which you cannot do in your stores. shops or dwellings. Dy all means keep from drinking and gambling houses. When you buy an nrticle of clothing, study com mendable economy, at tho same time get a good article and when made tako caro of it, and wear it out regardless of fashion. Fashion is a great tyrant, and people aro great tools lo oe siavca to it. ntay at home nights, improve yourselves by read ing or instructive conversation, and retire to your beds enrly. lie Kind to relations, obliging to friends, and charitable to all. A La bue Throat. The Morninir Star, publish. ed at Cincinnati, relates the following anecdote of a ycung gentleman of llio South who had expended a largo fortuno money, lands, and negroes every thing in the courso of intemperance and profligacy. He had just paid a last year's grog bill of $800; as he was walking in the streets very leisurely, and seeing a physician on the opposito side, he called out to him, saying he wanted nun to come over. " Doctor," aaid he, I wish you 'd just take a look down my throat." " I don't discover anything, sir," said the doctor after Innltinff very rarcfully, You don't!" said ho, "why that's strange; will you be kind enough, sir, to give me another look p" lleally, sir, snid the doctor, allor a second look, " I don't see anything." "Not? why doctor, there is a farm, ten thousand dollars, and twonly negroes gono down there!" Peter Lorili.abd. The Albany Daily Advertiser says this great tobacconist, whose death at tho advanced age of 80 years was mentioned a day or two since, left an estate, consisting in great proportion of real properly, estimated at about four millions of dollars, tlie foundation of which was laid in the business of preparing tobacco for chewing, snullinir and smoking. J lo and two brothers, Ueorge and Abraham, were, if wo mistake not, Herman redemptionera, and of course destitute of property, when they arrived in this country; bin by habns of industry and frugality, nnd slrict integrity, liiey all amassed groat estates. uitjiUO jourmu.

Seven hundred Ameri cans defended the fort for a whole day ; but in the evening, about four o'clock, it was taken. The commander of the bosieged delivered up hi sword to an Englishman, who immediately stabbed him ; all his comrades wore put to the sword. A line of powder was then laid from the magazine of the fort to the sea, there to be lighted, thus to blow tlie fort np in the air.
